What an idea!

On Saturday, a Muslim jihadi drove a van through an LGBT festival, killing one person and injuring more than a dozen others. He then stabbed people as he fled, because of course!

The suspect, second-generation Lebanese immigrant Abdul Ballout, was killed on Sunday in a standoff with police.

In 2025, Ballout left Germany to join ISIS in the Middle East. German authorities had him flown back to Germany to stand trial for terrorism charges. He was later convicted, but the courts delayed his sentencing for six months.

In May 2026, the court released him, deciding that counseling sessions would be better than prison. Prosecutors appealed that decision, but Ballout was free to roam the country while the slow process played out.

According to The Telegraph, Germany is now thinking about keeping terrorists in jail:

The original sentencing decision has angered politicians in Germany and a review has been launched into how suspended sentences are handed out.

'We know that he committed a large number of offences, that he sympathised with terror, that there was also a conviction that was suspended on probation, and that the public prosecutor's office lodged an appeal against it,' Mr Dobrindt said.

'The question is currently being strongly raised as to how a sentence can actually be suspended on probation for someone who has been identified as a security threat.'

Suspended sentences were originally codified in Germany to prioritise resocialisation over retribution.

Translation: The female kindergarten teachers who now run the government thought it was kinder to teach the bad kids to play nice instead of punishing the bad kids.

In light of Saturday's attack, Germany is now re-examining its practice of suspending sentences.

Federal ministers and police unions have put forward several reform proposals, including creating a statutory exclusion for extremism and terrorism by amending section 56 of the German Criminal Code.

They suggest that this should also apply to the Youth Courts Act, to bar terrorism-related offenders from receiving suspended sentences, regardless of sentence length.

There are also growing demands to revise pre-trial detention rules to ensure terror suspects remain in custody pending prosecution appeals.

Further measures under discussion include introducing mandatory, standardised psychiatric and security-agency evaluations before any extremist can be granted a 'favourable social prognosis'.

Here's another idea:

If you don't want Islamic invaders to wage jihad on your people, stop importing Islamic invaders into your country.
